Book description
'Her eyes were black, wide as though with some sustained surprise, the
skin from their outer corners to her small ears taut. Her lips were
pale, and nearly too full for her small mouth, like something bled but
bruised. He had never seen anyone or anything quite so beautiful in his
life.' Graham Park is in love. But Sara Fitch is an enigma to him, a
creature of almost perverse mystery. Steven Grout is paranoid - and with
justice. He knows that They are out to get him. They are. Quiss,
insecure in his fabulous if ramshackle castle, is forced to play
interminable impossible games. The solution to the oldest of all
paradoxical riddles will release him. But he must find an answer before
he knows the question. Park, Grout, Quiss - no trio could be further
apart. But their separate courses are set for collision. Iain Banks
came to widespread and controversial public notice with the publication
of his first novel, THE WASP FACTORY in 1984. He has since gained
widespread popular and critical acclaim with further works of fiction,
and, as Iain M Banks, science fiction.
